Terms and Conditions

TERMS & CONDITIONS

These Terms and Conditions apply to Reader Offers Plus hosted at www.readeroffersplus.co.uk (the “Marketplace”) which is operated by Archant Community Media Limited (whose registered office address is Prospect House, Rouen Road, Norwich NR1 1RE and whose company number is 19300 in England and Wales.), referred to below as (“Archant Community Media Limited”).

It is important that you understand that Archant Community Media Limited allows 3rd party sellers (the “Seller”) to list and sell products and services (the “Goods”) on the Marketplace and only helps the Seller to facilitate transactions that are carried out through the Marketplace. Archant Community Media Limited is not the seller of the Goods, unless listed as such on the Marketplace, and shall have no liability to you, for any claims, demands, losses, damages, or penalties arising out of any transaction with any other Seller. When you place an Order (as defined in section b of Part 1 of these Terms and Conditions) for any Goods on the Marketplace, you are placing an Order and legally contracting with the relevant Seller. The Seller is solely responsible for making the Goods available for purchase (including by taking Orders and collecting payment via PayPal). Archant Community Media Limited is not a party to and has no obligations under these Terms and Conditions. Any financial transaction is made directly between you and the Seller and not with Archant Community Media Limited, unless otherwise stated.

To use this Marketplace you must be legally capable of entering into a financial contract. You will also need to register/log-in with PayPal to use the Marketplace and will be subject to PayPal’s terms and conditions.

These Terms and Conditions are subject to change at any time. You should check these Terms and Conditions posted on the Marketplace periodically to ensure that you are aware of and comply with the current version. Any such change will be effective to all new Orders once included in the text of these Terms and Conditions and posted on the Marketplace. Your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions is given when you purchase Goods from the relevant Seller(s).

You are responsible for ensuring that your login details, password and all other details in relation to your account remain confidential at all times. Neither the Marketplace nor the Seller shall be liable to any person for any loss or damage which may arise as a result of any failure by you to protect your password or account.

Where you wish for Goods to be delivered outside of the United Kingdom, please note that you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the products are destined. Archant Community Media Limited will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws.

This Part 1 sets out some terms, which apply to your purchase or reservation of Goods from any of the Seller(s) through the Marketplace.

a. Pricing

All prices are, unless otherwise stated, inclusive of applicable taxes. Delivery charges may apply and these will be displayed in the Order process. The Seller will make all reasonable steps to ensure that all local taxes and duty are paid but in rare circumstances you may be required to pay a local duty on international goods. In the event that you are asked to discharge such costs by the relevant Seller’s nominated carriers, please retain proof of payment and provide the same to the Seller(s) who will refund the same.

b. Order process

By placing Goods in your basket and proceeding with the checkout procedure, set out below, (your "Order"), you make an offer to purchase a product from a Seller(s):

Checkout step 1 – login to your account, using either your account details or your PayPal login.
Checkout step 2 – Register your credit/debit card details, if not already registered.
Checkout step 3 – Enter delivery address and confirm payment. Where applicable only one promotional code can be used at a time

The Seller reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to limit the number of items purchased per person, per household, or per Order. These restrictions also may be applicable to Orders placed by the same account, the same credit card, and also to Orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address, or are placed by dealers. All Goods are subject to availability – the relevant Seller may not be able to supply your Order.

Please note that when buying Goods over the internet the colours which are shown for the Goods on the Marketplace will depend on many factors – including your display settings and that all sizes and measurements are approximate.

The Goods and promotions which are offered on the Marketplace by the Seller may not be available in the Seller's store, and vice-versa.

c. Acceptance of your Order

Your Order only constitutes an offer to purchase Goods from a Seller, and does not form a binding contract until accepted by that Seller. Where you Order more than one product your Order contains a series of offers for each product individually.

On receipt of your Order, Reader Offers Plus Marketplace will send you an Order acknowledgement email to the email address you have provided. This Order acknowledgement email will contain your Order number, details of the Goods Ordered and a delivery estimate. Note that this email is only to acknowledge that your Order has been received, and is not acceptance by the relevant Seller of any offers to purchase Goods.

Each Seller must receive full payment both of the price of the Goods and any delivery charges before it can accept any Orders. Where you select to pay by credit or debit card the presiding banking institution or payment gateway operating on behalf of the relevant Seller will process the payment at the time of preparing your Goods for dispatch. Depending on the financial institution that you choose to make payment from an international transaction fee may be charged by that financial institution on your purchase. Please note that this fee is not charged by the Sellers or the Marketplace on the Seller’s behalf and as such neither the Sellers, nor Marketplace on behalf of the Sellers, can refund you any amount levied in this respect.

You will not be charged until your Order is verified, payment authorised, and your Order has entered the shipping process.

An offer made by you to purchase Goods shall only be deemed to be accepted by the relevant Seller when that Seller dispatches that product to you and sends you an Order dispatch email which includes details of the Goods. Each Seller reserves the right to refuse any offers in an Order prior to acceptance. If Goods are not available the relevant Seller will include details of the unavailable product in the Order dispatch email. Goods which are not available will not be included in the contract for Goods which are dispatched.

Each Seller reserves the right to decline your Order at their sole discretion. Each Seller reserves the right without prior notice to discontinue or change the specifications for Goods, locations where Goods are delivered, and prices on Goods without incurring any obligation to you.

Each Seller currently displays their delivery policies on every product detail page. It is your responsibility to check the policies relating to all Goods that you order.

Any delivery estimates given on the Marketplace or by the Order confirmation email are estimates only.

Each Seller endeavours to ensure that the Goods that you Order are provided by the agreed delivery date and where applicable time, however delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen circumstances. Neither the relevant Seller nor its nominated carrier shall be under any liability for any delay or failure to deliver the Goods within the estimated time frame.

Risk of loss and damage of Goods passes to you on the date and time of delivery of the Goods.

This Part 3 sets out the terms, which govern your right to return any Goods that you do not want to keep.

Please ensure you return Goods in their original condition and packaging, unworn and unwashed, with all labels intact. In addition, Goods listed in section a of Part 3 below under ‘What can’t I return?’ shall not be refunded.

a. What can’t I return?

Unfortunately, the items on the list below can not be returned unless they are faulty:
· Bespoke or personalised products made to your specific requirements or measurements
· Perishable products (including but not limited to food or drink)
· Creative pieces that are specially commissioned when you place an order, including but not limited to art, sculpture and ceramics
· Personal items sold with a hygiene seal (including but not limited to cosmetics or underwear) where the seal is broken
· Earrings for pierced ears

b. How long do I have to return Goods?

If you have placed an Order for an item sold and dispatched by a Seller, you can view the Seller's return policy by visiting that particular Seller’s store page and selecting “Refund Policy”. From there, you can read more about that particular Seller's return policy for the items they sell.
Your rights under this Part 3 are in addition to the cancellation rights under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 as amended or superseded from time to time. If you wish, you may notify the Seller(s) in writing by letter or email that you wish to cancel your contract before the end of the statutory cancellation period (30 calendar days from the day after you receive the products). You must then return the Goods to the Seller(s) in the specified manner below within 35 calendar days after the day on which you notify the Seller that you wish to cancel your contract.
If you return your purchase by post or courier after the periods outlined above (with the exception of faulty or damaged goods) the Seller reserves the right not to offer you a refund in full. The Seller may return your purchase to you on payment of an additional delivery fee. This refund policy does not affect your statutory rights in respect of faulty or damaged goods.

c. How do I return Goods?

Items purchased online at market.www.readeroffersplus.co.uk cannot be returned to any Seller(s) store, and any returned Goods should be done using the process below:

Step 1: Write your name, address, postcode and Order number on the returns form together with any other requested information.
Step 2: Enclose the return form with your Goods in accordance with the instructions contained therein.
Step 3: Ensure your Goods are in a securely wrapped parcel and place a returns address label on the parcel.
Step 4: Take the parcel (with enclosed return form) and the dispatch note to the Post Office or other courier depot.
Step 5: Request that the Post Office clerk or courier stamps your dispatch note with proof of posting. We advise you to return goods using a trackable service such as Royal Mail Recorded Delivery as the Seller cannot accept any responsibility for items lost during the return process.
Step 6: Retain your dispatch note with proof of posting until you have received your refund.
Once you decide to return the Goods you must not use them and must take reasonable care of them while they remain in your possession. The Goods must be returned intact, undamaged as soon as reasonably possible.

You will be responsible for all of the costs associated with returning any Goods to the Seller, unless the Goods are faulty or not as described in the Marketplace, in which case the Seller will be responsible for the costs.

d. When will I receive my refund?

Each Seller or presiding banking institution or payment gateway on that Seller’s behalf will refund to the payment card the price paid for the Goods upon acceptance the return, less any agreed costs, this will normally be refunded to you in five working days of an item being received by the Seller.

Fees and charges for online Goods will be refunded by the Seller, but refunds of delivery charges are limited to the amount of the least expensive common and generally accepted kind of delivery offered by the Seller.

If you have a dispute with regards to any Order, in the first instance you should contact the Seller directly to try to resolve any issues. If you are unable to settle your dispute with the Seller, you have 45 days from the date of the transaction to register your dispute with PayPal via their Resolution Centre.
